PlanCo Certifies Fish Farm EIR, Moves Project Forward

By Elaine Weinreb

newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

N

ordic Aquafarms took a giant step closer to its goal of building a fish-rearing facility on the Samoa peninsula Aug. 4 when the Humboldt County Planning Commission unanimously certified the company’s Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) and also granted it a Coastal Development Permit and a Special Permit.

The commission listened to one last brief presentation from Nordic before going into an hour-long debate on the merits and potential problems of the project. There was no public input at this meeting, as that had already occurred at the previous July. 28 meeting. Technical difficulties prevented part of the meeting from being watched remotely on Access Humboldt’s live TV channel, but Zoom connections to the hybrid meeting appeared to work as planned.

Six of the seven commissioners were present during most of the meeting, with Brian Mitchell, an at-large member, absent, and Peggy O’Neill, the District Five representative, phoning in late.

Nordic Vice President of Operational Quality Control Nick King addressed some issues raised during last week’s public hearing.

He first praised the community for its robust interest in the project, which he said had resulted in a better product.

“Ninety-nine percent of the water used is re-circulated,” he said. “Each gallon of water is re-used 100 times before we discharge it.”

“No estradiol or hormones of any kind are added to our feed or to our water. All of our fish are female. All fish are harvested … before they become reproductively mature.”

“The amount of fish oil and fish meal in salmon feed has significantly dropped over the decades … and is only 15-to-20 percent today.”

“Nordic Aquafarms has committed to voluntary water quality monitoring and reporting beyond what is required in our discharge permit,” King continued. “The project is required to monitor and report on a large array of parameters. Our performance and our compliance will be evaluated on a regular basis, and renewed every five years. This renewal will be contingent upon evidence that our effluent does not impact the environment.”

GHD Environmental Planner Andrea Hilton explained Nordic would be monitoring its effluent beyond the requirements of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination

System, a federal program that protects clean water. The supervising agency in Humboldt is the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board.

King briefly discussed energy issues, mentioning the company’s “voluntary commitment to purchasing 100 percent non-carbon and/or renewable energy available to us from regional energy suppliers and local sourcing. … The farm will also construct a 4.8-megawatt, 14-acre solar array to help meet our energy needs.”

Commissioner Noah Levy asked for more specific information on water quality monitoring. County Planning Director John Ford explained that Nordic’s permit must be renewed every five years by the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board, which has the option of requiring more robust sampling if it deems that necessary.

More questions and answers on this topic were exchanged between county staff and commissioners.

The roles of other permitting agencies were also discussed. The project’s intake system is under the jurisdiction of the California Coastal Commission, with the applicant for the permit being the Humboldt County Harbor, Recreation and Conservation District. The water board is responsible for monitoring water quality associated with any water intake from new construction.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is responsible for the Incidental Take Permit, as it relates to longfin smelt, and other threatened species, and must license the fish eggs that will be brought onto the site to raise the farmed stock. National Marine Fisheries also monitors the intake apparatus, regulating the flow of water from Humboldt Bay and the size of the screen. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulates a pipeline that goes through the intertidal wetlands. The Coastal Commission also regulates both impacts to threatened species of plants and animals, and also the outfall apparatus of the facility.

As is required by CEQA, the county consulted with all these agencies while writing the EIR. However, the county is not allowed to impose regulations that fall under the jurisdiction of other agencies.

County Planner Cade McNamara addressed some other comments previously made by members of the public. He exContinued on next page »

plained that sea level rise is related to a rise in groundwater levels, “and the potential for hazardous materials within the soil leaching into this water increases.” To remedy this danger, potentially contaminated soil on the project site, a contaminated former pulp mill, “will be removed down to the groundwater.”

Regarding greenhouse gas emissions resulting from energy use, McNamara said “the project has consulted with RCEA, whose goals are aligned with state initiatives, by procuring 100 percent of renewable energy or a green power mix. The project is in line with these state initiatives. ... For these reasons this potential impact has been deemed less than significant. “ Regarding the greenhouse gas emissions required to make fish feed, McNamara was more evasive. “Nordic aspires to be certified through the Aquaculture Stewardship Council,” he said. “The AFC requires that feed mills report greenhouse gases. This is not a requirement for feed purchasers [and therefore] that is not within the purview of CEQA for this project.”

Regarding tsunami dangers, he noted that “the project is designed to survive a 2,500year event, and water levels inside of these buildings would reach a maximum of 5 feet…”

Regarding proposed refrigerants, he said those are regulated by the state and federal governments. No refrigerants will be used illegally, he said.

Second District Commissioner Thomas Mulder asked about the effect of project-related trucks interfering with parking along State Route 255. Cade said it would not affect coastal access.

A bit of cross-agency sniping occurred between the Harbor District and the Planning Commission. First District Commissioner Alan Bongio wondered why Nordic did not want to own the land that its facility would be on, and guessed that the Harbor District did not want to sell it to the company. He was worried about the county getting the tax base from the project, and also wondered what would happen if Nordic walked away from the project, suggesting the Harbor District put up a bond protecting the people of Humboldt County. He also complained that the Harbor District had not followed through on its earlier promises to dredge the channels in King Salmon.

Harbor District Director of Development Rob Holmlund replied: “The vast majority of businesses don’t own the land that they operate on. The district would be required to pay the EPA back [for previous environmental clean-up] if the district were to sell the land, which would put the cost beyond the reach of Nordic at the moment... Regarding taxes, the county has approved the Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District ... over the course of 20 years, the district will produce $350 million

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Aug. 11, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

of property tax.”

As to dredging at King Salmon, Holmlund said it’s unrelated to the project at hand and faces its own regulatory hurdles.

“Our interests are also of the people and of the county,” Holmlund said. “Your interests are the same as our interest.”

The two went back and forth for a few minutes.

Bongio then threw some criticisms at the environmental community.

“I think this is a really great project,” he said. “The minute I knew it was a great project was when every environmental group came out against it because when you have a good project they come out against it, and when you have junk project they never say a word.”

O’Neill asked if the Harbor District would own the improvements and take back possession of the land and buildings if there were a problem. She was concerned about a good tenant selling its assets to a bad tenant, resulting in losses to the community.

Holmlund replied that the Harbor District had stepped in after the pulp mills abandoned a polluted site, and done a great job getting the worst of the pollution under control.

“The district is committed to making sure that what happened last time, which is a company packed up and left, and abandoned the site, isn’t going to happen again,” he said.

“There is no perfect project,” said at-large Commissioner Melanie McCavour. “Every project is a trade-off. Look at the No Action alternative. You have to look at the fact that 40 percent of the farmed fish that we’re getting right now is from China. ... I support the project.”

Levy said he thought it was a good project but was trying to make it even better.

He stated that many enviroanmental groups have not rejected the project, and that several groups liked some aspects but also wanted some improvements.

He criticized the inclusion of biomass power as an energy source for the project, saying, “It’s renewable but it’s not carbon-neutral.”

Levy was also concerned about emissions from the trucking associated with the project, and hoped that Nordic would transition to zero-emission vehicles as soon as they are available. He thought the trucks would make State Route 255 more dangerous, and that Nordic should contribute money for public safety improvements.

McCavour argued with Levy about biomass.

“We have a lot of forest harvest residue here in Humboldt County, and the closest place that we can take that is about 400 miles away. Anything you can gain out of not using it here ... is lost by the fact that we

have to truck this stuff very long distances.

I support biomass as a sustainable source of energy.”

Fourth District Commissioner Mike Newman said the project is very well designed and thought it would lead to other good, sustainable projects on the peninsula.

“In the past we’ve had many more trucks on those roads,” he commented, asking for a more global approach to traffic problems.

“More monitoring and citations would help all over Humboldt County for that, especially going through Eureka. Issuing traffic citations will bring speeds down and enhance public safety tremendously.”

Newman also expressed concern about over-dependence on electrical use “because that electricity has to be generated someplace and most of the time it’s from carbon-generated plants.”

He was also happy to hear about the rigorous effluent discharge monitoring requirements and liked the tsunami protection being available for local citizens. “It’s better than going up on the tallest sand dune, which the option that we have right now. … I applaud Nordic Aquafarms for keeping their hands on the plow, to make this project here ... so I thank them for that. I will be saying yes on this project.”

Bongio had more to say about biomass.

“If we lived in the desert and said, ‘We don’t have no biomass but what we have is sun and sand. Let’s put solar fields up.’ But we live in forests. So let’s do biomass. Let’s do what we have here. … The trucking that they’re proposing is about a tenth of what went down that road every day when we had two pulp mills and two lumber mills out there.”

Levy said again that it was a really great project and he applauded Nordic for having gone above and beyond what was required of the company.

Mulder moved to certify the environmental impact report, and issue the Coastal Developmental Permit and a special permit, “subject to the recommending conditions.”

McCavour seconded. The six members of the commission present passed it unanimously. The scanty audience present in the Supervisors Chambers applauded.

Nordic headquarters responded with a press release praising the decision and said it would now go before “the California Coastal Commission and the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board for the next step in the permitting process.” l Elaine Weinreb (she/her) is a freelance journalist.

‘A Long Battle’

Fire crews descend on Willow Creek from near and far to face precarious Six Rivers Lightning Complex

By Thadeus Greenson thad@northcoastjournal.com

A

bout 100 residents from the Willow Creek area crammed into a small church on State Route 96 on Monday, where billows of smoke could be seen from a large, pane glass window spiraling into the sky across the Trinity River from the Bremer Fire as it continued to encroach on Willow Creek’s eastern edge.

They were there for their first chance to hear directly from U.S. Forest Service fire officials since a brief pre-dawn storm on Aug. 5 brought an estimated 150 lightning strikes to the region, at least 10 of them sparking blazes in Six Rivers National Forest that have become known collectively as the Six Rivers Lightning Complex.

If the officials sought to drive home one point during the meeting it was that help was on the way, that the cavalry was coming.

“We have resources on order and we are the No. 1 priority in the state and the nation,” said California Interagency Instant Management Team 11 Operations Section Chief Seth Mitchell, drawing a round of applause from the gathered residents, many of whom had been evacuated from their homes over the weekend, and later adding that while 600 personnel are currently on the ground, “We have a whole bunch of stuff en route.”

And true to Mitchell’s word, caravans of hot shot crews from all over the state and beyond could be seen a few hours later, heading east from the coast on State Route 299 and west from Redding, ready to join the fight.

The response underscores the severi-

Smoke rises from the Six Rivers Lightning Complex as it burns near the Cavaletto Vineyard Estate across the Trinity River from State Route 299, just east of Willow Creek. Photo by Mark McKenna ty of the situation, with six fires actively burning miles apart in steep, fuel-laden terrain, threatening hundreds of homes spread across multiple communities.

North of Willow Creek, there are the Bremer and Cedar/Waterman fires, with the Bremer Fire burning down-slope toward Willow Creek’s eastern edge and the Bigfoot subdivision, and the Cedar/Waterman Fire potentially threatening Hoopa to the north. South of Willow Creek, there’s the Bravo-Campbell Fire, which is burning to the southeast, threatening a number of small communities along State Route 299, including Salyer and Hawkins Bar. Farther south, there are the Oak and Ammon fires, which are expected to burn together any time and threaten communities along Friday Ridge and Route 1. As of 11:30 a.m. on Aug. 9, the fires had combined to scorch nearly 9,000 acres, with zero percent containment.

All are burning in dense forested areas that are not only parched with drought but also filled with downed fuels after the December snow storm that felled scores of trees across the region. While CalTrans has worked for months to clear downed trees from along State Route 299, PG&E has cleared land under its transmission lines, many of the fuels left elsewhere by the storm remained to be dried by an unusually dry and warm winter and spring.

Back in May, officials with the Lower Trinity River Prescribed Burn Association, the Trinity County Resource Conservation District and the nonprofit EcoFlight took a handful of locals (including the Journal) an an aerial tour of the burn scars from last

year’s Knob and Monument Fires. During the flight, the associations Basho Parks and the district’s Heidi Carpenter-Harris pointed out that while prior conditions caused the Knob and Monument fires to burn so hot they scorched the earth below the forest in certain places, the winter snow storm had made things considerably worse heading into this year’s fire season.

As the fires grew rapidly amid these conditions over the weekend, exhibiting what officials dubbed “extreme fire behavior,” the U.S. Forest Service and local departments scrambled to respond with limited resources. Fire crews were able to save a string of residences along Seeley McIntosh/Campbell Ridge Road and Salyer Heights, while others slowed the Bremer Fire’s encroachment on the Bigfoot subdivision on Willow Creek’s eastern edge.

Residents, meanwhile, scrambled to heed evacuation orders and get out. The Red Cross set up an evacuation center at Trinity Valley Elementary School (730 State Route 96), the Hoopa Rodeo Grounds opened as an evacuation center for large animals and a variety of locals sprang into action with trailers and trucks to help get people, their pets and livestock out of harm’s way. Social media message boards filled with prayers for neighbors and expressions of angst as people left their homes, unsure whether they’d ever see them again.

“My life will change forever,” one resident posted to Facebook with a photo of a vehicle leaving a gate under a hazy sky with an orange glow. “I don’t know if this beautiful gate still stands tomorrow.

My tears streaming down right now, my heart hurts. I’m not able to save all of my animals. Praying for my house, praying for my animals, praying for my neighbors.”

Aug. 8, a long-horned goat wondering Brannan Mountain Road with a harness and leash that seemed “friendly.” (Within about 20 minutes, someone had connected the poster with the goat’s owner, who’d been worried since losing track of it the night before.)

Back at the Aug. 8 community meeting, U.S. Forest Service Fuels Technician Kevin Osborne advised that relatively mild weather and morning inversion layers had helped keep a bit of a lid on the blazes over the prior couple of days. In the early afternoons, when the inversion layer lifts, temperatures rise and humidity levels fall, the fires were becoming more active, but he said the weather was fairly stable and, “luckily, there aren’t extreme weather events forecast.” He said crews were working hard to take advantage of the relatively mild morning fire activity to get ground work done and prepare defense lines, preparing for fire activity to ramp up.

Six Rivers National Forest Supervisor Ted McArthur said agencies have been leaning on local fire crews, who “know this country.” A resident later questioned how out-of-town crews could be expected to navigate both the rugged terrain of the area and its idiosyncrasies. As an example, he said, the area has a Three Creeks Road, Continued on next page »

an Old Three Creeks Road, a New Three Creeks Road, a Two Creeks Road and even a 3 Creeks Road spelled with the numeral — how can they be expected to keep it all straight? Everyone, he was assured, will be leaning on local crews and their knowledge.

CalFire Humboldt-Del Norte Chief Kurt McCray, who took over unified command Aug. 9 with federal and local officials, praised the U.S. Forest Service’s initial response, which, as of the meeting, had not seen a single injury or structure lost. But McCray made clear a long road lies ahead.

“This is going to be a long battle and all of you need to do your best to be prepared and informed, and to heed the evacuation orders when they come,” he said.

Trinity County Sheriff Tim Saxon underscored that last point, telling residents: “If you choose to stay, you’re on your own — and I mean, on your own,” while urging anyone who makes that decision to be sure they have “adequate supplies.”

Humboldt County Sheriff William Honsal told gathered residents he hears “their anxiety” and sees the adversity they are facing. Humboldt County Fifth District Supervisor Steve Madrone told the Journal those anxieties extend beyond people’s residences to their livelihoods in some cases, noting that he’s heard from cannabis farmers in evacuation zones who left lightdep crops ready to harvest, amid what has already been a financially disastrous stretch for the industry.

“People’s livelihoods are on the line,” he said.

Trying to reassure residents, Honsal said his deputies continue to patrol evacuation zones to look for potential looters, saying, “We have lots of eyes and ears out there.”

He urged people to stay informed about current conditions and their evacuation zones, and to stay together.

The nonprofit Pay it Forward Humboldt urged anyone willing to volunteer to contact them, saying its looking to coordinate supply deliveries and other services to help those displaced and those still at home amid evacuation and air quality warnings. On a table in the back of the room, the group had already stacked N95 masks and boxes of peaches from upriver at Suzy Q farm. The farm had harvested the peaches looking to donate them but, under an evacuation warning, couldn’t deliver them, so someone from Pay it Forward volunteered to pick them up.

As the meeting wound down, McArthur assured fire crews will do everything they can.

“This has been quite a hand we’ve been dealt — there were a lot of lightning strikes,” he said. “It’s created an environment that’s very difficult for our firefighters, but they’re giving it all they can.” l Thadeus Greenson (he/him) is the news editor at the Journal.

Karuk Tribe: McKinney Fire Caused ‘Kill Zone’ in Klamath River, Suffocating Thousands of Fish

T

he Karuk Tribe continues to investigate the cause and breadth of a fish kill event in the Klamath River but believes a massive debris slide from the McKinney Fire turned a section of the Klamath to sludge, killing thousands of fish.

Craig Tucker, a spokesperson for the tribe, said its believed the debris slide entered the Klamath River near Humbug and McKinney creeks, dropping dissolved oxygen levels in the river to zero and effectively suffocating scores of fish of different species, including suckers, salmon and trout.

“We think the impact is limited to 10 or 20 miles of river in this reach and the fish we are seeing in Happy Camp and below are floating downstream from the ‘kill zone,’” Tucker wrote in an email to the Journal. “We are working to better understand the event and the Karuk Tribe continues to monitor the situation.”

The tribe first reported the kill Aug. 5, saying a “very large number of dead fish, of all species,” had been observed near Happy Camp, saying preliminary observa-

northcoastjournal.com/ncjdaily

tions suggested a debris flow on Aug. 3 in an area impacted by the McKinney Fire was to blame.

Sparked the afternoon of July 29, the McKinney Fire has grown to more than 60,000 acres along the Klamath River in Siskiyou County, spanning part of Klamath National Forest, and is 40 percent contained. Four people have been killed in the fire, which stands as California’s largest of 2022.

The fish kill is the latest blow to Klamath River fish populations, which have been decimated by poor water quality caused by four upriver hydroelectric dams, which choke the river’s flows, increasing water temperatures, blocking fish passage and causing toxic algal blooms. The Karuk and Yurok tribes, as well as environmental groups and other stakeholders, have been working to see the dams removed since 2002, when more than 34,000 fish — mostly adult fall-run Chinook salmon — died in the river due to a disease outbreak caused by low water flows, high temperatures and poor water quality.

Removal of the dams is slated to begin

HumCo Confirms First Monkeypox Case

H

umboldt County Public Health has confirmed the first case of monkeypox in the county after a resident contracted the viral infection According to an Aug. 5 press release, the resident is doing well, self-isolating at home and appears to have had no close contacts locally.

Monkeypox, a rare zoonotic infection caused by the monkeypox virus, which is in the same family as smallpox but less severe, is spread through close personal contact, including skin-to-skin touching, kissing and sex. Symptoms of monkeypox include fever, headache muscle aches and backaches, swollen lymph nodes, chills, exhaustion, sore throat, nasal congestion or cough. The infection may include a rash with pimples or blisters that may be pain-

ful and itchy located on or near the genitals or anus, as well as other areas, such as the hands, feet, chest, face or mouth.

According to the release, Public Health received an allotment of 20 monkeypox vaccines earlier this month. A quarter of the vaccines will be used to vaccinate staff in Humboldt and Del Norte counties who will be in charge of vaccinating community members. Some vaccines were also used for laboratory staff who will be testing the monkeypox samples in the lab. The additional vaccines are available in case of an outbreak. Public health has placed an order for more vaccines, which are expected to arrive soon.

Public Health also recently received more than 400 doses of an antiviral medication that will be made available for people with severe complications.

Although the risk for monkeypox is low, Public Health is advising residents to follow these tips to stay safe: Practice good hand hygiene, always talk to your intimate partner/s about recent illness, and be aware of new or unexplained sores or rashes on your body or your partner’s body, including on the mouth, genitals, anus and hands, avoid intimate contact, including sex, with people who have symptoms like sores or rashes.

To date, there are more than 7,100 cases of monkeypox in the U.S., including more than 825 cases in California. Last Thursday, the federal government declared the monkeypox outbreak a public health emergency, which will help accelerate vaccine distribution, allow health agencies to collect more data, create access to emergency funds and make it easier for

providers to prescribe treatment.

“The experience learned in more than two years of COVID-19 response has provided staff with a lot of practice mobilizing quickly to assist in administering vaccines and getting individuals set up with the proper medications,” Humboldt County Public Health Officer Candy Stockton said.

“There is a significant difference between how monkeypox and COVID are spread.

Monkeypox cases will not lead to widespread closures of schools and businesses in our community.”

Public Health asks if you are experiencing symptoms or have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for monkeypox, please contact your health care provider. If you do not have a provider, call Public Health at 445-6200.

The Eureka Street Art Festival makes its mark again Story and photos by Alexander Woodard newsroom@northcoastjournal.com

O

n the evening of Thursday, Aug. 4, a couple dozen people gather in the Pacific Outfitters parking lot for a guided walk, ready to take in the sights of murals underway for this year’s Eureka Street Art Festival. Leading the tour is organizer and local artist Jenna Catsos, who has been directly involved coordinating the festival every year it has been held since 2018.

If you’re unfamiliar, the Eureka Street Art Festival is a weeklong event dedicated to adding a new beauty to previously blank or bare walls. Artists from Humboldt

and afar scale scaffolding to paint murals of their own devising sponsored by local individuals, organizations and businesses.

Previous years have been held in Old Town, Henderson Center, the downtown area, and Fourth and Fifth Streets, each time covering buildings and sidewalks with the work of new and established artists.

This year’s festival welcomed 11 mural painters and seven mural apprentices to the area out of nearly 500 applicants.

Assisting in the organizing efforts, Catsos credits Humboldt Cider Co. co-owner Michelle Cartledge and City of Eureka Economic Development Manager Swan

Asbury. “It really is a labor of love,” says Catsos. “There is something magical about working with this small group who are all [so] willing to put in outrageously long hours to make this event happen.”

While the three have been the core group of organizers from the beginning, Catsos made sure to note that there are a lot of additional helpers, thanking the community and volunteers for assisting in various capacities each year.

“The planning is essentially year-round.

We have our block party, we take a little bit of time off, and then we get right back to it and begin planning for the next year,” says Catsos. “Sometimes it can take months and months to get just the walls

selected and approved — there’s just so many logistical variables that come into play when planning.”

One of the locations for this year’s festival provided not one, but four separate surfaces for murals to cover. How might one location provide four separate canvases, you ask? By holding up the Samoa Bridge.

The pillars supporting Samoa Bridge were suggested and selected after an unexpected, yet warmly welcomed inquiry from the California Department of Transportation. When the state agency reached out to the City of Eureka in the spring with funds from the Clean California Grant, staff put it in contact with

Catsos also wanted to give a special shoutout of appreciation to the Humboldt Area Foundation for supporting the festival’s mural apprentice program for the past two years. “The mural apprentice program has allowed us to bring in [and pay] up and coming artists and folks who really want to get their foot in the door with mural painting. There’s so much to know with this kind of work that even if you are an incredibly talented painter, you might never be able to pivot into murals,” she says.

“Part of the intention of this program is to provide a gateway to an experience that

can help an artist feel comfortable applying to be a primary artist in the future.”

Both primary artists and mural apprentices are compensated for their time and work, something Catsos says is a top priority. Out-of-area artists are also compensated for their travel.

The design for “Go Fly a Kite” was conceptualized by de Silva and brought to life with the help of Evolve Youth Services, an Arcata-based nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of children and families in foster and adoptive care.

“For this piece I thought it would be fun to get kids involved. I decided on a ‘paint by number’ design,” says de Silva.

“As more people fill it in, the design begins to take shape. Initially, I was anticipating kids wanting to participate, but we’ve had

folks of all ages wanting to stop and paint.

It’s been great.”

This year’s festival saw the return of a block party held on Saturday, Aug. 6, an event that’s been on hold for the past two years due to COVID. The block party included more than 70 different local artisans to shop from, food, a beer garden and live music.

“It feels really amazing to be here,” Yinger reflects. “After participating in the apprentice program last year, I thought I’d apply to be a primary artist and see if I could paint my own mural. Being able to be a part of an event with so many people coming to appreciate art is really incredible.”

With the mural now complete, Yinger

will turn their attention to a planned collaborative show with Eureka-based artist Mir de Silva running September through October.

De Silva herself is no stranger to the festival, having participated as a primary artist both last year and the year prior.

This year saw her in a slightly different role, leading the charge on the community mural titled “Go Fly a Kite,” which features a California Condor and depicts a kite reminiscent of the colorful ones folks may see on occasion flying by the bay in Eureka.

T

he menu above the counter at Gyro Shop (1731 G St., Arcata) is as pared down as the place itself, with its metal chairs and narrow wooden counters. There’s the headliner gyro, chicken shawarma, falafel, all of which can come on plates or wrapped in warm, thick pita bread, along with seasoned fries and a single Greek-leaning salad with kalamata olives and feta. A small refrigerator offers craft sodas, of which owner Alex Begovic, working the register, recommends the chocolate one.

Opened June 20, Gyro Shop is a downshift from the formal setup at Le Monde in Eureka, where, until he closed it three years ago, Begovic won a following with staples like duck confit and crème brûlée. But he says he sees it as a return to the most elemental aspects of running a restaurant, both in terms of cooking and interacting with those he’s feeding.

“As a chef, I feel like it’s just going back to the basics,” says Begovic. “It’s street food but it’s more. It’s ancient — the flatbread is the first bread that was ever made,” he notes, dating back to ancient times in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. “That’s what I think about when I’m prepping the food. All this food could be made with live fire and rocks,” right down

to grinding the flour, vegetables, chickpeas and meat.

Shawarma, which has its origins in the Ottoman Empire, is something Begovic says he grew up eating. Born in France, he spent part of his childhood in the former Yugoslavia, from which his Serbian father often traveled to Turkey, which had a strong influence on local food culture.

Later, the family relocated to Paris, with its growing Turkish and North African populations, particularly former French colonies Algeria and Tunisa, and the markets that sold ingredients for their respective cuisines. He recalls visiting the Latin Quarter in his youth and happily eating the Greek versions of grilled meat on pita on the left bank of the River Seine with his brother.

Begovic says the shawarma he makes nods toward its Lebanese history, with “every spice that exists, almost,” he adds with a laugh. The turmeric, ginger, paprika, cumin and coriander blend he uses on the organic chicken thighs is reminiscent of a curry mix and is offset by rice vinegar pickled slivers of cucumber, carrot and red onion, and shredded cabbage. For the accompanying harissa sauce, he had to tinker with tiny Sicilian hot and Aleppo peppers to approximate the “Gypsy” peppers he’s had difficulty sourcing locally.

Research into the first mass production of the gyro in 1970s Chicago, as well as some trial and error, led Begovic to a relatively simple blend of lamb and beef spiced only with garlic, salt, pepper, marjoram and red chili flakes that lets the flavor of the meat shine through. Pureeing it well and then some, he explains, releases the fat and collagen, and gives the gyro a “fluffed up” texture. Then the trick, he says, is to mold and freeze the slurry so it cooks layer by layer as it turns on the vertical spit.

“Since I have so few things on the menu, I never have to go cheap,” says Begovic, who contends that the pricier rice bran oil in the fryer makes a notable difference in the French fries he tosses in tapioca flour and deep fries twice, as

well as the parsley-heavy falafel. “Hard, crunchy outside and moist inside — that’s the name of the game.” He orders the pitas but everything wrapped inside them, he says, is house made.

Serving customers and talking to the folks he feeds is another upside to paring down for Begovic, who’s one of three cooking and ringing up orders at Gyro Shop. “In fine dining, you can kind of lose all that,” he says, lamenting the inability to come into the dining room to meet his clientele at Le Monde without tasks piling up in the busy kitchen. He says he doesn’t miss the hype necessary to justify fine dining prices — with ambiance, with marketing yourself — as the cost of ingredients and rent rise and profit margins shrink.

“As a chef, you constantly have your ego played and you start believing your own bullshit.”

Like so many restaurateurs, Begovic says the pandemic forced him to pause and think about what he wanted in a business.

He thinks scaled back models like Gyro Shop are the direction more food businesses will have to take to survive. He’s looking toward the looming influx of Cal Poly Humboldt students who are used to more diverse food offerings as a big part of his customer base.

Stuffing the pitas and rolling them in foil, Begovic says he often gets the pleasure of hearing people reminisce about their experiences all over the world eating modern versions of these ancient foods.

“Le Monde means the world,” he says, “and that’s my vibe with food anyway.” l Jennifer Fumiko Cahill (she/her) is the arts and features editor at the Journal.

FRONT ROW

The Children and The Unstrung Harp Opening the cracks in our lives

By Pat Bitton

frontrow@northcoastjournal.com THE CHILDREN. It was a dark and stormy night … when Rose (Rae Robison) let herself into the cottage occupied by her old friends Hazel (Pam Long) and Robin (Gary Sommers). The reunion gets off to a rocky start when Hazel hits Rose over the head, thinking she is a burglar. Thus begins The Children by Lucy Kirkwood, now playing at Redwood Curtain and, it turns out, something of a parable for our times.

The three, we learn, worked together at a nuclear power station on the English coast, just a few miles from where Hazel and Robin now live. After the birth of Hazel’s first child almost 40 years earlier, Rose, unable to deal with the emotional turmoil of her former lover (Robin) settling down with a woman who appeared to be the picture of perfection (Hazel), took off on a journey of self-discovery.

Meanwhile, Robin and Hazel settled into a comfortable routine — one in which Hazel, at least, became seemingly ever more perfect — balancing four children and a healthy lifestyle with her career as a nuclear scientist.

But when a disaster happens at the power station, that perfect life evaporates in the “filthy glitter” of radiation. Hazel and Robin are forced to leave their organic farmstead and move into a cottage owned by a distant cousin of Robin’s. They have electricity just a few hours a day and the tap water is unsafe. As an uncomfortable reminder of COVID times, they are also cut off from family and must frequently test for radiation exposure.

Fundamental differences and commonalities surface as the women catch up with each other’s lives. What is the value of a long life if it’s not a happy one? What does fulfilment look like? When does societal responsibility trump individualism? What kind of world will today’s children inherit?

Each, for very different reasons, struggles with a burden of guilt. When Robin returns from “tending to the animals” at the farmstead to find his former lover in conversation with his wife, his reaction is to open a celebratory bottle (or two) of

18

home-made parsnip wine. But as the wine is consumed and the real reason for Rose’s visit becomes apparent, the cracks in everyone’s carefully constructed personas deepen and threaten to blow apart.

The Children is an intense 90 minutes that will draw you into the characters’ lives and challenge your own thoughts on our responsibility for future generations; the setting and circumstances are reminiscent of the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster and remind us of the potential dangers Humboldt Bay faces from Mother Nature. All three actors put in memorably strong performances, and Craig Benson’s direction keeps the pressure up, although a little judicious editing would strengthen the overall impact of the piece.

Carlene Cogliati’s nuanced set design is full of little clues to Hazel and Robin’s life after the disaster that emphasize how much we rely on the “conveniences” of modern life like running water and reliable electricity.

Michael Burkhart’s lighting design and Andrew Wright’s sound design add to the post-apocalyptic atmosphere, while Jaiden Clark’s stage management keeps everything running smoothly.

Redwood Curtain Theatre’s The Children runs Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. through Aug. 20.

THE UNSTRUNG HARP. During the total theatrical shutdown of the past couple years, theater maker Kathryn Cesarz pondered the lot of the creative artist in solitude. She found herself drawn to the oddly familiar tale of the novelist Mr. Clavius Frederick Earbrass, as conceived and brought to life by the inimitable Edward Gorey. She began to visualize a live interpretation of the challenges of solitary creation — isolation, boredom and plain procrastination. The result is an endearing, whimsical, laugh-out-loud funny story of the birth of the novel The Unstrung Harp,

as interpreted by theater artist and mime Jesse March, now playing at Synapsis.

Mr. Earbrass keeps a list of possible book titles in a little green notebook. Every two years, he selects a title at random and begins to write a novel to fit the title on Nov. 18. By teatime Nov. 17, he has yet to come up with a plot. But he cannot drag his mind away from the last biscuit on the plate. Or the squeaky wheel of the tea trolley. Or the rejection letter from his intended bride.

March is melodrama personified as the nattily Victorian-attired Earbrass. Though he says not a word, his physical presence speaks volumes as he pushes through the obstacles he places in his own way. No matter whether he’s sailing around the stage on the tea trolley, drowning in bad first drafts, being assailed by the many demons of his imagination (Cesarz), or when he finally cracks the path to the unstrung harp of his dreams, he draws you effortlessly into his world.

With wonderfully creative lighting by Spike Foster, imaginative shadow puppetry by master technician James Hildebrandt, Mystery-style sound effects by John March and Mackenzie Ridgwood, and James Peck’s minimalist deadpan narration, The Unstrung Harp is an hour of pure unadulterated fun.

Bonus: If you can’t get to see the live show, you can support the performers and get access to a video of the show via their GoFundMe, linked from their website at devisedtheatre.wordpress.com.

Otterly Advice

Tips for river otter spotters at the marsh

By J.M. Black

getout@northcoastjournal.com

A

fter witnessing one of her own mowed down by a car in April, a local river otter asked me to share her advice to otter spotters and others on visiting wetlands, lagoons and rivers. Here’s what she had to say.

Start early and notice the ducks.

We’re hungry all the time but especially first thing in the morning. Bring the nifty thingamajigs you all use to look across the marsh. Watch for rings of bright water and be aware of duck alarm calls. Look in the direction they look.

We’re cute but misunderstood; keep your distance.

Some otters don’t mind when spotters get excited and go all googly when they see us swim by. River otters are cute, I know, but we’re also a top predator in the marsh. We catch and eat critters with fins, slippery skin or feathers. In fact, all we ever eat is meat.

We’re the wolves of the wetlands and we’ll use our teeth to defend space or young pups. So watch for the slightest ripple when you’re on or near the water, and keep your distance.

We may be in stealth mode while hunting for fat ducks, so you’ll need to scan carefully.

Fat ducks go all head-up at the slightest line of bubbles or worrisome wake. Only the most observant otter spotters notice an otter’s nose and eyes emerge on a smooth water day. We can hold our breath while swimming the entire length of a lake-sized pond while hugging its floor in hope of catching a fat duck near the opposite shore.

Note mother ducks splashing in the pond; an otter might be following close behind.

The other day, I tried to catch a threeday-old duckling but its mother got in the

way, making a commotion.

She squawked, flapped and splashed right in front of me.

I could have sworn both her wings were broken and went for her instead, but after chasing her twice around the island, she suddenly took off.

We love dumb, tasty coots, so notice movements in the veg.

Clued in otter spotters watch for an odd wiggle or sway of hard-stemmed rushes or a subtle undulation in the floating plants.

That might be one of us sneaking toward a preoccupied coot chowing on their last meal of shrimplets. Dumb, tasty coots make up a large part of our diet in a wetland winter.

We’re easier to find when fishing.

Delectables like fish, frogs, crab and crayfish hide in tangled strands of algae choking the shallows. We turn and churn algae mats until something wiggles free. We don’t bother to hide when working an algae mat, so look for our legs and tails flailing until we come up through the slime, nose in air, to chew and swallow.

Listen for noisy pups.

Otter moms are the best. They catch smaller critters and let them go on shore for their pups, who yell, squabble and bite until one wins the prize. Grown daughter otters like me also catch crittters for younger siblings. Heaven knows, otter moms can use the help. Pup otters have sharp puppy teeth, though — I’m not sure how much longer I can take it, kin or not!

Remember to keep your distance.

Give an otter some space to do her thing, even when upside down in an algae mat. An otter will move away if she must look too many spotters in the eye, even if she has to go away hungry.

Otters popping out of the water. Photo by Mark Larson Check the shorelines where we take fish to eat.

Sometimes we stumble on big, fast fish that wash in with high tides and try to catch them. Last year, my muscle-bound brother and I worked together to catch our first spikey fins [staghorn sculpin]. While he pushed a trio toward the shore, I grabbed a fourth skimming through the mud. I used to love watching my brother speed across the marsh chasing breakfast. He swam like a perfect porpoise.

Look for our belly slides in the mudflats at low tide.

Watch out for long lines in the bay mud, about the width of a River Otter’s body, with periodic punch marks on either side.

We love to sprint, stretch and dive — face forward, chin up — to slide across slick, slimy mud, paddling with our back feet every second or two. It’s a blast!

Find us celebrating on a sandbar.

Otter spotters who see us before we see them may find a whole bunch of otters on the mound where tides pass sand island. You might hear us talking, see our foot-stomp dance or, if you are lucky, catch us playing and rolling in a big ball of otters. But if we see you first, you may still find a few tracks, roll marks and scat to study.

Lastly, please slow down for otters

crossing at the Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary.

Would-be spotters might prefer to wait for us to cross near those bright yellow triangles with the marks etched in black: “OTTER XING.” Anyone can see evidence of our crossing: muddy tracks in sets of four loping, splattered prints coming in from the bay. That traditional pathway, which our ancestors used since before otter spotting was a thing, is where my brother got run over. My perfect brother bled out in the middle of that crossing. Seriously, guys, we’re in this together, so if everyone would just slow down, us river otters would have a fighting chance. l If you would like to join the network of River Otter Spotters in Humboldt, Del Norte and adjacent counties, you may let us know when and where you saw wild otters, how many, and their behavior.

FISHING THE NORTH COAST

Pacific Halibut Season Closes, Boats Turn to Tuna

By Kenny Priest

fishing@northcoastjournal.com

O

ne of the better Pacific halibut seasons came to a close Sunday with boats catching some nice fish right up until the final buzzer. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife announced Sunday’s closure late last week with the expectation that quota would be exceeded if the season remained open.

And I don’t think they were wrong. But as we say goodbye to halibut, we welcome albacore tuna to our decks. The warm water that tuna seek is just a few miles offshore but most boats are looking out in deeper water in hopes of finding large schools. As of Monday, the scores weren’t off the charts but the fish being caught are big. Not many peanuts are being caught — most are in the 20-pound class and quite a few 30-plus-pound tuna are being caught. Boats will have a couple more days to search for tuna with windy conditions predicted to return later in the week.

According to Tim Klassen of Reel Steel Sport Fishing, the tuna water is within 20 miles of the entrance. “Sunday and Monday, we found fish roughly 18 miles offshore,” said Klassen. “The fish are really scattered, no real big concentrations of fish. Scores were slightly better 35 miles out Monday but still not red-hot. However, the fish being caught are a really good grade with most of the fish being over 20-pounds. The wind is forecast to return Thursday. With all the warm water close to shore, the salmon bite hasn’t been great.

Most of the fish are being caught right on the bottom. North of the entrance off the stacks in 100 feet of water has produced some quality keepers.”

Make It So

By Collin Yeo

C

icero, writing a couple thousand years ago in a now dead tongue, wryly noted the habit among the wealthy men of Rome of copying the ostentatiousness of a great man’s sumptuous villas, while showing no interest in imitating his fine personal virtues. Ain’t that the rich for you? Then, as now, money could not buy one’s way into virtue or moral splendor.

It can, however, buy a bunch of sprawling McMansions with lurid and gaudy home furnishings. I’m thinking about the wealthy power games of the Roman elites because I have just finished another world-building, high fantasy summer reading book full of violence and palace intrigue, and those always have the stamp of the classical world.

Few places in human history balanced shocking violence and conquest with the patina of civility like ancient Rome, and few Romans lived a life more “in the shit” of that balance than Marcus Tullius Cicero.

He’s good to check up on from time to time, I keep a copy of Di Officis next to my bed. In a way, all history is a form of high fantasy, as no land is more remote, fantastic, or unknowable than the past.

Contemporary life is too blurry to catch all the nuance — it’s like taking in the scenery from a highway and calling it a vacation.

We need to slow down and reconsider events before understanding them.

That’s why it’s such a joy to experience live music, because while most times you are making pleasant memories, occasionally you are witnessing history being made.

Win/win scenario there. Go have at it.

Thursday

Scott Pemberton O Theory or SPOT for short, is a Pacific Northwest power trio that works as a very tight and musically adept showcase for the titular frontman’s unique blend of jammy, outer space jazz and blues grooves, played with a high degree of idiosyncratic fretboard stylistics.

The group is coming through Arcata again, a town that hosts it fairly often, to tear it up at Humbrews tonight at 9 p.m. Come through if you’ve got $15 to spare and the desire to see some really great guitar playing.

Friday

The Rebirth Brass Band is a beloved institution and horn player’s career-starter from my former home of New Orleans, as well as an extremely potent live act that will be in our county tonight, specifically, Humbrews, 9 p.m. ($30). Started in the early 1980s by the Frazier brothers, Rebirth has served as an international ambassador for the best kind of New Orleans marching street jazz. Funky and full of energy, this group is always a good time, but be warned: You get what you give and if the musicians are a little road weary, they can sometimes hold back the best gems for a lackluster audience. So, if you show up, come out ready to dance and holler, no holding back, ya hear? Trust me, you’ll want to get as close to the hometown performance as possible.

Saturday

Another summer has come without the giant pilgrimage to the Eel River to celebrate the music of Jamaica. However, the legacy of that famous festival lives on, in fact, it’s still in the name. Reggae Legacy this year will be a weekend festival in the house where it all started, the Mateel Community Center. Today is the opening, with an emphasis on international talent, whereas Sunday will be more focused on local artists. Come join Jamaica’s seminal band The Wailing Souls, Trinidadian singer Marlon Asher and Mystic Roots (who are from, where else, but Chico), for a nice fat dollop of reggae music. The doors are at 5 p.m. and tickets are $35, $30 in advance.

Sunday

Gill Brothers Band is a slide-rockin’ quartet that sounds like the soundtrack to a documentary about early ’70s pony cars. Tonight, the brothers Gill make an

appearance at the Siren’s Song Tavern (9 p.m.), where the fellas will be joined by locals The Corduroy Gangsters and The One Man Dan Band, aka Daniel Nickerson previously from the Sanctuary, now roving around Humboldt in parts unknown. The show’s free but consider kicking the touring band some cash for a little van juice.

Monday

Oh boy, I have been waiting for this.

The triumphant return of one of Humboldt County’s finest purveyors of dark western psycho-daemonium, Opossum Sun Trail. Sadly, Dieter, Nola and co. will not be moving back to the 707 but are merely stopping into Humbrews for a tour show. However, what a show this is gonna be because not only is my favorite local heavy weirdo power trio The Sturgeons on the bill, but two thirds of the boys are debuting their Alice In Chains cover band We Die Young at 8 p.m. ($10). What more could you want?

Yet, if you find yourself stuck across the bay — would you believe it? — at the same hour there is another incredible and heavy show going down at the Siren’s Song? I wouldn’t lie to you and I am, of course, referring to yet another favorite trio of mine, the mighty Black Plate, who will be joined by Oakland’s Crystal Logic for half the price of the other show. This is a tough choice, a real head scratcher for any head banger out there with the desire

to have their frontal lobes tickled by the immaculate sonic vortex of pure guitar bliss.

Tuesday

To quote the late Ronnie Van Zant, Tuesday’s gone with the wind. Best forget about it and seek your fortunes further on down the week.

Wednesday

Great news for the all-ages, DIY crowd: The Outer Space is back. The long homeless venue, having lived on as more of an idea than a location, has once more found a home, this time at 837 H. St. on the Arcata Plaza. The inaugural show features returning bedroom-pop act Bellows from Brooklyn, as well as local acts Blood Hunny and Think Tank. I am told that one of the more eye-catching novelties of the new pad is that it’s in a former bank vault, with a vault door and everything, so if the opening night excitement, music or the gift shop full of local artists’ wares isn’t enough of a draw, at least come for the old-fashioned burglar-proof tech. The show’s at 8 p.m. and although I’m not sure of the cover, I’d bring some cash for the bands. l Collin Yeo (he/him) copies neither virtues nor villas in his life. That is to say, he isn’t rich. He lives in Arcata.

NORTH COAST JOURNAL • Thursday, Aug. 11, 2022 • northcoastjournal.com

hate to sound optimistic (ask anybody), but I’ve been developing a theory that, in spite of literally everything, Summer 2022 has become a pretty good movie season. This is due in no small part to my constant, chiggerish contrarianism, which I’ll address momentarily, and to my sadistic satisfaction at the movie-industrial complex maybe finally addressing/adapting to the changing landscape of media consumption. In my defense, my warm feelings about a few months of releases are not solely born of vindictiveness and reactionism, just mostly.

I still like having a good time at the movies, even if I’m home instead of, well, actually “at the movies.”

No one will brook the argument that Top Gun: Maverick will not go down as the definitive Summer Movie, 2022, and more power to it. I may love it all the more for remaining an outlier, a vivified relic of an era rapidly vanishing in the rearview.

Because I quietly revel in the minor disruption of popular opinion, though, I also love it because it is not from one of the major families of contemporary American movie franchises. A sequel, sure, but one that pays homage to its roots while also (pun intended) flying in the face of certain

other efforts to dazzle and impress us.

By the same token Thor: Love and Thunder, the most recent addition to the poorly received MCU fourth whateveryou-call-it, is deeply satisfying on its own merits but also because it seems to have fomented unease and discomfort among the faithful.

Similarly, The Gray Man, which people seem to hate due to apparently misbegotten expectations, turns many of the techniques of comic book tentpoles in on themselves to create a winking work of pure entertainment. With its low-stakes, green-screen grandiosity, it satisfies the need for a big popcorn movie without having to leave the house (or wherever one affixes oneself to one’s streaming device).

By contrast, Nope goes all in on the notion of the theatrical experience, with a many-layered narrative and breathtaking images that create an enveloping, engrossing experience, even if it doesn’t cohere into a work of greatness.

A disclaimer: Circumstances at home and abroad have prevented some of the industry’s lesser efforts from reaching the marketplace and allowed me the luxury of disregarding most of those that did. In addition to watching fewer movies, optimism

and a trepidatious collective exhale (or inhale) may well have colored my reception of the ones I did see and enjoy — that stubborn optimism again.

So now it’s late-season and we’ve got a couple of new releases, one theatrical and one streaming, both imperfect but continuing the trend of solid summer movies.

BULLET TRAIN. In the last decade or so, stunt players/coordinators and second-unit directors have risen from obscurity into the ranks of major directors, David Leitch perhaps foremost among them. John Wick (2014), Atomic Blonde (2017), Deadpool 2 (2018) and Hobbs & Shaw (2019) have together made about a zillion dollars and collectively changed our expectations regarding fight choreography and action per minute ratios in mainstream movies. And, in another era, might have made Leitch a household name. Weird.

Leitch has now applied himself to a talent-laden, nonstop update of the archetypal British-style whodunnit. (In this case, update means death by nearly every violent means possible). Couched in some business about power struggles within the Yakuza and a ransom demand, the plot of Bullet Train primarily serves to mix an allsorts of assassins on a candy colored train bound for Kyoto. Late-period Brad Pitt does his best, jokily inept version of himself as an operator intent on self-interrogation and personal growth. Brian Tyree Henry wears probably the best denim jacket in contemporary cinema, while Aaron Taylor-Johnson somehow pours all of ’70s UK grime cinema into a very smart threepiece suit; delightful cameos abound. R. 126M. BROADWAY, FORTUNA, MILL CREEK, MINOR. PREY. As I’ve undoubtedly harped on before, Predator (1987) is one of my original foundational texts. Peak Schwarzenegger, peak-1980s nonsense, peak John McTiernan action dominance, it both amazed and deeply frightened me when I first saw it. 35 years later, it remains a classic, a movie far better made than it has any right to be and an origin point for much of what has happened since, not to mention a great number of sequels of varying quality.

The latest installment, from director Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane, 2016) presents a sort-of origin story, with a predator visiting Earth — specifically the North American Great Plains — in the early 18th century, where it tests its mettle against a grizzly bear, some loathsome buffalo hunters and a convention-defying Comanche girl named Naru (Amber Midthunder).

While Prey undeservedly suffers from living in the shadow of Predator and, per-

haps more fairly, doesn’t add a lot to the fearsomeness of its storied antagonist species, it is a rousing, atmospheric exercise in historical action. R. 99M. HULU. l John J. Bennett (he/him) is a movie nerd who loves a good car chase.

The Rise and Fall of Klamath County

By Barry Evans

fieldnotes@northcoastjournal.com

L

iving, as my wife and I do, in Old Town Eureka, we’re very aware we’re on the land of the Wiyot, whose territory once extended from Little River to the Bear River ridge south of the Eel. Tribal borders were strictly adhered to — especially if the neighboring tribe was unfriendly — but it took the coming of Europeans to mark off the land with actual lines on actual maps.

A year after California became the 31st state of the Union in September of 1850, our part of the world was officially divvied up into counties. From the settler point of view, Wiyot country was now part of Trinity County, as you’ll see from the accompanying 1851 map. Two years later, Humboldt County was carved off from Trinity.

Between the north boundary of Trinity County (roughly on the line of School Road in McKinleyville) and the Oregon border lies a less familiar county name: Klamath. In its short life, 1851 to 1876, the county represented a quarter century of bureaucratic snafus. For one thing, the southern boundary of Klamath, defined as the latitude of the mouth of the Mad River, was unstable. As anyone familiar with the area knows, the mouth moves a bit farther north each year.

That was a minor problem. A bigger one was the question of where to establish the county seat. Trinidad was the natural choice: It had a harbor, where two Spanish ships had made landfall in 1755, erecting a cross on Trinidad Head near the Yurok village of Tsurai. By 1851 the cove had a small European settlement, so Trinidad, with its protected bay, became the first county

seat. Just three years later, it was moved to Crescent City, which was growing exponentially as a staging depot for supplies carried by packhorses and mule trains to gold mining camps to the east. Three years later, in 1857, miners based at Orleans Bar (modern Orleans on State Route 96, on the Klamath) successfully petitioned for the county seat to be moved there, despite its remote location.

All these changes might not have changed the map of California but for Klamath County’s mounting debt, which by 1855 was $25,000. According to local historian Jerry Rohde, “the books were in disarray and a large amount of money was unaccounted for by the sheriff. The Board [of Supervisors] levied no tax for the year and none had been collected the previous year.” Meanwhile, Crescent City re-established itself as a county seat in 1857 by a simple expedient; its residents created a new county, Del Norte, thereby depriving Klamath of its territory north of the Klamath River.

Finally, in 1874, with Klamath County debt-ridden, under investigation by a grand jury (an election yielded more votes than voters) and practically lawless (the sheriff being “absent”), officials asked the State Legislature to disestablish it. The process took a couple of years due to bickering over who would assume the county’s debts but by 1876, it was all over, and Klamath County was no more. l Barry Evans (he/him, barryevans9@ yahoo.com), who has lived in this county since 2001, still has to meet the Count of Humboldt.

seek sanctuary and healing and creativity in bed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Libran author Katherine Mansfield wrote, “The mind I love must have wild places, a tangled orchard where dark damsons drop in the heavy grass, an overgrown little wood, the chance of a snake or two, and a pool that nobody’s fathomed the depth of.” Be inspired by her in the coming weeks, Libra. I suspect you will flourish if you give yourself the luxury of exploring your untamed side.

The time is ripe to wander in nature and commune with exciting influences outside your comfort zone. What uncharted frontier would you enjoy visiting?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): When you are functioning at your best, you Scorpios crave only the finest, top-quality highs.

You embrace joys and pleasures that generate epiphanies and vitalizing transformations. Mediocre varieties of fun don’t interest you. You avoid debilitating indulgences that provide brief excitement but spawn long-term problems. In the coming weeks, dear Scorpio, I hope you will embody these descriptions. It’s crucial that you seek gratifications and delectations that uplift you, ennoble you, and bless your future.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Wish on everything,” advises Sagittarian author Francesca Lia Block. “Pink cars are good, especially old ones. And first stars and shooting stars. Planes will do if they are the first light in the sky and look like stars.

Wish in tunnels, holding your breath and lifting your feet off the ground. Birthday candles. Baby teeth.” Your homework during the next two weeks, Sagittarius, is to build a list of further marvels that you will wish on. It’s the Magic Wish season of the year for you: a time when you’re more likely than usual to encounter and generate miracles. Be proactive!

Oh, and very important: What are your three top wishes?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Author Aldous Huxley wrote, “That people do not learn much from the lessons of history is the most important lesson that history has to teach.” While his observation is true much of the time, I don’t think it will be so for you in the coming weeks. I suspect you will triumph over past patterns that have repeated and repeated themselves.

You will study your life story and figure out what you must do to graduate from lessons you have finally, completely learned.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In the film I Origins, a scientist says this to a lover: “When the Big Bang happened, all the atoms in the universe were smashed together into one little dot that exploded outward. So my atoms and your atoms were together then . . . my atoms have always known your atoms.” Although this sounds poetic, it’s true in a literal sense: The atoms that compose you and me and everyone else were originally all squeezed together in a tiny space. We knew each other intimately! The coming days will be an excellent time to celebrate your fundamental link with the rest of the universe.

You’ll be extra receptive to feeling connection. You’ll be especially adept at fitting your energy together with others’.

You’ll love the sensation of being united, merged, blended.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): My Piscean friend Luna sent me a message that sums up how I feel about you these days. I’ll repeat it here in the hope it will inspire you to be perfectly yourself. Luna said, “Every time I meet someone who was born within like two weeks of my birthday, I end up with the impression that they are the loopiest and wisest person I’ve met in a long time. They are totally ridiculous and worthy of profound respect. They are unhinged and brilliantly focused.

They are fuzzy-headed dreamers who couldn’t possibly ever get anything practical accomplished and they are lyrical thinkers who charm me with their attunement to the world’s beauty and impress me with their understanding of how the world works. Hahahahaha. Luckily for me, I know the fool is sacred.” l

Week of Aug. 11, 2022 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Tips to get the most out of the coming weeks: 1. Exercise your willpower at random moments just to keep it limber. 2. Be adept at fulfilling your own hype.

3. Argue for fun. Be playful and frisky as you banter. Disagree for the sport of it, without feeling attached to being right or needing the last word. 4. Be unable to understand how anyone can resist you or not find you alluring. 5. Declare yourself President of Everything, then stage a coup d’état. 6. Smile often when you have no reason to. 7. If you come upon a “square peg, round hole” situation, change the shape of the hole.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): If I had to choose a mythic deity to be your symbolic helper, I would pick Venus. The planet Venus is ruler of your sign, and the goddess Venus is the maven of beauty and love, which are key to your happiness.

But I would also assign Hephaestus to you Tauruses. He was the Greek god of the metalworking forge. He created Zeus’s thunderbolts, Hermes’ winged helmet, Aphrodite’s magic bra, Achilles’ armor, Eros’ bow and arrows, and the thrones for all the deities in Olympus. The things he made were elegant and useful. I nominate him to be your spirit guide during the next ten months. May he inspire you to be a generous source of practical beauty.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): To be a true Gemini, you must yearn for knowledge—whether it’s about coral reefs, ancient maps of Sumer, sex among jellyfish, mini-black holes, your friends’ secrets, or celebrity gossip. You need to be an eternal student who craves education. Are some things more important to learn than others? Of course, but that gauge is not always apparent in the present. A seemingly minor clue or trick you glean today may become unexpectedly helpful a month from now. With that perspective in mind, I encourage you to be promiscuous in your lust for new information and teachings in the coming weeks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Cancerian drummer Ringo Starr is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Though he has received less acclaim than his fellow Beatles, many critics recognize him as a skillful and original drummer. How did he get started? At age 13, he contracted tuberculosis and lived in a sanatorium for two years. The medical staff encouraged him to join the hospital band, hoping it would stimulate his motor skills and alleviate boredom. Ringo used a makeshift mallet to bang the cabinet near his bed. Good practice! That’s how his misfortune led to his joy and success. Is there an equivalent story in your life, Cancerian? The coming months will be a good time to take that story to its next level.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): One of the inspiring experiments I hope you will attempt in the coming months is to work on loving another person as wildly and deeply and smartly as you love yourself. In urging you to try this exercise, I don’t mean to imply that I have a problem with you loving yourself wildly and deeply and smartly. I endorse your efforts to keep increasing the intensity and ingenuity with which you adore and care for yourself. But here’s a secret: Learning to summon a monumental passion for another soul may have the magic power of enhancing your love for yourself.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Musician Viv Albertine has recorded four albums and played guitar for the Slits, a famous punk band. She has also written two books and worked as a TV director for 20 years. Her accomplishments are impressive.

Yet she also acknowledges that she has spent a lot of time in bed for many reasons: needing to rest, seeking refuge to think and meditate, recovering from illness, feeling overwhelmed or lonely or sad. She admiringly cites other creative people who, like her, have worked in their beds: Emily Dickinson, Patti Smith, Edith Sitwell, and Frida Kahlo. I mention this, Virgo, because the coming days will be an excellent time for you to
